How to Optimize the Use of the “OR” Clause When Used with Parameters (SQL Server 2008)

Question

I wonder if there is any wise way to rewrite the following query so that the indexes on columns get used by optimizer?

Answer 1

Have you tries a table valued function?

CREATE FUNCTION select_func1 (  
    @Key1 int=0,
    @Key2 int=0
)
RETURNS TABLE 
AS RETURN (
    Select key3
    From Or_Table
    Where (@key1 =0 OR Key1 =@Key1) AND
          (@key2 =0 OR Key2 =@Key2)
)


select * from select_func1(1,2)
